a literal thing you think.

He deserves to be fired but not firing him is the funniest possible outcome so I'll root for it since I don't care about the Sixers; sorry Philly fans

It surely cannot be though, right?????

Josh Harris tried to get a job with the Trump administration and gave Jared Kushner loans worth ~$200 million.

They are that bad.

Early last year, a private equity billionaire started paying regular visits to the White House.

Joshua Harris, a founder of Apollo Global Management, was advising Trump administration officials on infrastructure policy. During that period, he met on multiple occasions with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, said three people familiar with the meetings. Among other things, the two men discussed a possible White House job for Mr. Harris.

The job never materialized, but in November, Apollo lent $184 million to Mr. Kushner’s family real estate firm, Kushner Companies. The loan was to refinance the mortgage on a Chicago skyscraper.

Even by the standards of Apollo, one of the world’s largest private equity firms, the previously unreported transaction with the Kushners was a big deal: It was triple the size of the average property loan made by Apollo’s real estate lending arm, securities filings show.

quote:

Shortly after Kushner Companies received the loan from Apollo, the private equity firm emerged as a beneficiary of the tax cut package that the White House championed. Mr. Trump backed down from his earlier pledge to close a loophole that permits private equity managers to pay taxes on the bulk of their income at rates that are roughly half of ordinary income tax rates. The tax law left the loophole largely intact.

I don’t even see the point of keeping him, they’ve clearly lost the fanbase at this point. Best case scenario is he remains as a lame duck for a season or two while being constantly humiliated by the press and NBA fans. Even if they truly believe he is completely innocent, the most humane option is probably just to let him resign while continuing to pay him what they owe him so he can lay low for a few years and attempt a comeback elsewhere when people have forgotten.

All the accounts immediately shut down when the reporter initially asked the 6ers about them.

Yeah, Colangelo had no knowledge.
